Qualification-goals/Competencies: - Students are able to list the different concepts for the diagnosis of infectious diseases (pathogenic bacteria, fungi, virus and parasites).
- In addition they will learn about prominent pathological entities of infectious diseases, on a macroscopic and histological level.
- They are able to illustrate and discuss these concepts with the aid of appropriate examples.
- They are able to assess the potential and the limitation of a given diagnostic concept and to propose alternative strategies.
- They do understand and are able to explain the underlying principles of a given technique.
- They are able to identify unknown pathogens from suspected infectious materials of respiratory, intestinal, urinary tract and blood infections by various diagnostic techniques.
- They acquire competences in presenting and discussing scientific results.

Notes:The final grade is calculated from weighted partial grades as follows: 20% seminar, 40% lecture (exam) and 40% practical course (protocol & oral examination).
The module Diagnostical Methods in Microbiology and Pathology is required for the participation in Infection Biology 2.
The total amount of time allocated to a written examination is usually between 60 and 180 minutes (Examination Regulations). |
